How do I know if I am booked onto a course or not?

Your place on a course is automatically confirmed once we have received payment of the whole course fee. Please arrive about 10 minutes before the beginning of the class, so that the teacher can take your details.

What do I wear?

You will practise in bare feet. Wear comfortable light clothing like leggings, shorts or tracksuit pants, t-shirt and something warm to put on for relaxation. Bring a small towel for the Astanga courses. You can change at the school if you wish.

Should I eat/drink before class?

You can bring some drinking water for before and after class. Filtered drinking water is also provided at the school.
Practice is done on an empty stomach. As a guideline to begin with, a light snack should be consumed no later than two hours before you start practising. Drink plenty of water before and after class; a warm drink is OK too.

What do I need to bring?

Everything else is provided, like mats, blankets, bolsters and any kind of props you might use.

I am really stiff. Can I do yoga?

Good! That's why you are coming to learn to do yoga.

After having done a beginners course what then?

Many people choose to repeat a beginner course one or more times, because there is so much to learn.
Alternatively you can join a beginner 2 course or come to the 'General' classes. Ask your teacher for advice.

Do I need to know the sequence to be able to come to Mysore style classes?

Not necessarily. There are usually one or two teachers present who will step by step guide you through a sequence of postures, appropriate to your level of experience.
If you are new to this method of yoga it is advisable to attend one or more Beginner Courses or the Beginner Intensive Courses.

How do I get to the school?

Location.

Is there parking in the area?

There is one hour parking on Blues Point Road, with two hour parking further down the street, and two hour parking on some side streets. There are no parking meters. There is ample parking in the early mornings!
